More Balanced Nutrient Than Live Food

Hikari Food Sticks is a complete, scientifically formulated nutrient mix developed for top-feeding carnivorous fish whose main diet of live food tends to cause nutritional deficiencies. Using Food Sticks instead of live foods reduces the chance of infection from parasites or bacteria that hitchhike in live foods.

A Unique Texture Large Fish Love

  • Can completely eliminate the need for live fish feeding
  • A unique blend of proteins, carbohydrates, fats, vitamins, minerals, and amino acids. All perfectly balanced to offer a daily diet most top-feeding carnivores love
  • Free of unwanted parasites and bacteria, which are common hitchhikers with most live foods
  • Higher levels of carotenoids promote the development of brilliant colors not common in carnivorous fish kept in an indoor aquarium void of natural sunlight
  • Key ingredients in this floating pellet allow us to produce a diet that helps most top-feeding carnivores develop their true form over time

A Pellet Designed With A Purpose

  • Absorbs water rapidly, taking on a texture of a live fish
  • A highly flavorful, easily digested nutrient mix
  • Contains stabilized vitamin C to support immune system health
  • Three sticks offer the caloric equivalent of approximately one live goldfish
Feeding Instructions

Feeding Instructions

Hikari Tropical Food Sticks is a daily diet for all types of Arowana and other top-feeding carnivorous fish normally fed live food.

Feed two to three times daily, only the amount your fish will completely consume within a few minutes. Care should be taken to avoid over-feeding, and always remove uneaten food after the feeding period.

Carnivorous fish may resist a new type of food when changing their diet from live foods to stick-type food, and continued use will ensure acceptance. Throwing the stick at the surface of the water, causing a splash can sometimes improve acceptance as this mimics the action of a live fish.

Note: Hikari® Tropical Food Sticks™ contains higher levels of natural ingredients which may cause a slight change in color from one production lot to another. Rest assured, because of our rigid quality standards. Each package meets our superior nutritional specifications.
